Grand Master Yaron Lichtenstein

Sensei Rotem Lichtenstein

Bukan School of Krav-Maga has shared the authentic Israeli martial art for self-defense since 1977. Created by Imi Lichtenfeld and carried forward by his only professional successor, Grand Master Yaron Lichtenstein, the Bukan tradition is now offered in the Mat-Su Valley through Bukan Alaska, led by instructor Ioana Florescu.

Bukan School of Krav-Maga is not and will never be a martial arts organization, an association, a federation, a system, or a franchise; it is purely an international school led by Grand Master Yaron.

At Bukan School of Krav-Maga Alaska our focus is to empower dedicated individuals to achieve self-mastery, develop real confidence, discipline, and resilience through proficiency in the only unabridged and authentic Israeli martial art for self-defense.
